Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2024
Note 1 – Organization and Background
BRT Apartments Corp. (the "Company" or "BRT"), a Maryland corporation, owns, operates and, to a lesser extent, holds interests in joint ventures that own multi-family properties. The Company conducts its operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes.
These multi-family properties may be wholly owned by the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) or by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company generally contributed a significant portion of the equity. At September 30, 2024, the Company: (i) wholly-owns 21 multi-family properties located in 11 states with an aggregate of 5,420 units and a carrying value of $ 619,525,000 ; (ii) has interests, through unconsolidated entities, in eight multi-family properties located in four states with an aggregate of 2,527 units with a carrying value of $ 31,573,000 ; and (iii) owns other assets, through consolidated and unconsolidated subsidiaries, with a carrying value of $ 1,854,000 . The 29 multi-family properties are located in 11 states; most of these properties are located in the Southeast United States and Texas.
Note 2 – Basis of Preparation
The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, reflect all normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim periods. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The consolidated audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Accordingly, these unaudited statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "Annual Report") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. For each venture, the Company evaluated the rights provided to each party in the venture to assess the consolidation of the venture. All investments in unconsolidated joint ventures have sufficient equity at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support and, as a group, the holders of the equity at risk have power through voting rights to direct the activities of these ventures. As a result, none of these joint ventures are variable interest entities ("VIEs"). Additionally, as determined in accordance with GAAP, the Company does not exercise substantial operating control over these entities, and therefore the entities are not consolidated. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and subsequently adjusted for their share of equity in earnings, cash contributions and distributions. The distributions to each joint venture partner are determined pursuant to the applicable operating agreement and may not be pro-rata to the percentage equity interest each partner has in the applicable venture.
The joint venture that owns a property in Yonkers, New York, was determined not to be a VIE but is consolidated because the Company has controlling rights in such entity.
The Company reviews each real estate asset owned, including those held through investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, for impairment when there is an event or a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company measures and records impairment charges, and reduces the carrying value of owned properties, when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts. For its unconsolidated joint venture investments, the Company measures and records impairment losses, and reduces the carrying value of the equity investment when indicators of impairment are present and the expected discounted cash flows related to the investment is less than the carrying value. When the Company does not expect to recover its carrying value on properties held for use, the Company reduces its carrying value to fair value, and for properties held for sale, the Company reduces its carrying value to the fair value less costs to sell. When the Company does not expect to recover its carrying value on unconsolidated joint ventures that are under contract for sale, the Company, when it is determined that the sale is probable, reduces its carrying value to its fair value.

Table of Contents
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Substantially all of the Company's assets are comprised of multi- family real estate assets generally leased to tenants on a one-year basis. Therefore, the Company aggregates real estate assets for reporting purposes and operates in one reportable segment.
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODMs”) are its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer. As the Company operates in one reportable segment, the CODMs are provided financial reports which include (i) a consolidated income statement (detailing total revenues, total operating expenses, operating income and net income) and (iii) Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”). These financial reports assist the CODMs in assessing the Company’s financial performance and in allocating resources appropriately.
Reclassifications
Immaterial Error Correction
During the preparation of financial statements for the current period, it was determined that in the prior year period, the Company was not correctly including the escrow accounts classified within other assets within cash flows from operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As a result, the Company made an immaterial error correction to the prior year period to reclassify the escrows within Cash and Restricted Cash on the Statement of Cash Flows resulting in a increase in net cash from operating activities of $ 2,061,000 .
Note 3 - Equity
Equity Distribution Agreements
The Company has equity distribution agreements with three sales agents to sell up to $ 40,000,000 of its common stock from time-to-time in an at-the-market offering. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not sell any shares.
Common Stock Dividend Distribution
The Company declared a quarterly cash distribution of $ 0.25 per share, payable on October 2, 2024 to stockholders of record on September 24, 2024.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
The Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “DRP”), among other things, provides stockholders with the opportunity to reinvest all or a portion of their cash dividends paid on the Company’s common stock in additional shares of its common stock, at a discount, determined in the Company’s sole discretion, of up to 5 % from the market price for the common stock (as such price is calculated pursuant to the DRP). The discount from the market price is currently 3 %. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, 56,879 and 165,731 shares were issued in lieu of cash dividends of $ 951,000 and $ 2,829,000 respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, 35,470 and 111,322 shares were issued in lieu of cash dividends of $ 684,000 and $ 2,117,000 , respectively.
Stock Based Compensation
In June 2024, the Company's stockholders approved the 2024 Incentive Plan (the "2024 Plan"). This plan permits the Company to grant: (i) stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares awards and any one or more of the foregoing, for up to a maximum of 1,000,000 shares; and (ii) cash settled dividend equivalent rights in tandem with the grant of restricted stock units and certain performance based awards. As of September 30, 2024, 784,675 shares are available for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2024 Plan. Awards to acquire 1,602,722 shares of common stock are outstanding under the 2024 Plan, the 2022 Amended and Restated Incentive Plan (the "2022 Plan"), the 2020 Amended and Restated Incentive Plan (the "2020 Plan"), and the 2018 Amended and Restated Incentive Plan (the "2018 Plan; and together with the 2020 Plan and the 2022 Plan, the "Prior Plans"). No further awards may be granted pursuant to the Prior Plans.

Table of Contents
Restricted Stock Units
In July 2024, the Company issued restricted stock units (the "RSUs") to acquire up to 215,325 shares of common stock pursuant to the 2024 Plan. As of September 30, 2024 , an aggregate of 640,493 of unvested restricted stock units are outstanding pursuant to the 2024 Plan and the Prior Plans. Generally, the RSUs entitle the recipients, subject to continued service through the three-year vesting period to receive (i) the underlying shares if and to the extent certain performance and/or market conditions are satisfied at the vesting date, and (ii) an amount equal to the cash dividends that would have been paid during the three-year performance period with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the RSUs if, when, and to the extent, the related RSUs vest. The shares underlying the RSUs are not participating securities but are contingently issuable shares.
Expense is recognized on the RSUs which the Company expects to vest over the applicable vesting period. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $ 303,000 and $ 651,000 , respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $ 1,006,000 and $ 1,534,000 , respectively of compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned compensation with respect to the RSUs. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $ 2,125,000 and $ 1,999,000 of compensation expense, respectively, has been deferred and will be charged to expense over the remaining vesting periods.
Restricted Stock
As of September 30, 2024 , an aggregate of 962,229 shares of unvested restricted stock are outstanding. The shares of restricted stock vest five years from the date of grant and under specified circumstances, including a change in control, may vest earlier. For financial statement purposes, the restricted stock is not included in the outstanding shares shown on the consolidated balance sheets until they vest, but is included in the earnings per share computation.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $ 886,000 and $ 822,000 , respectively and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $ 2,615,000 and $ 2,542,000 , respectively, of compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned compensation with respect to the restricted stock awards. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $ 7,958,000 and $ 7,484,000 , respectively has been deferred as unearned compensation and will be charged to expense over the remaining vesting periods of these restricted stock awards. The weighted average remaining vesting period of these restricted stock awards is 2.2 years.
Share Repurchase
Pursuant to the Company’s repurchase program, as amended from time to time, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares of its common stock through open-market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 6,563 shares of common stock at an average price per share of $ 17.55 for an aggregate cost of $ 115,000 . During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 183,243 shares of common stock at an average price of $ 18.08 for an aggregate cost of $ 3,312,000 . As of September 30, 2024, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $ 6,271,000 of shares through December 31, 2025.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023 the Company repurchased 264,165 shares of common stock at an average price per share of $ 18.74 for an aggregate cost of $ 4,950,000 . During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 573,318 shares of common stock at an average price per share of $ 18.81 for an aggregate cost of $ 10,786,000 .
Per Share Data
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income applicable to common stockholders for the applicable period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during such period. Net income is also allocated to the unvested restricted stock outstanding during each period, as the restricted stock is entitled to receive dividends and is therefore considered a participating security. The RSUs are excluded from the basic earnings per share calculation as they are not participating securities.
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock or resulted in the issuance of shares of common stock that share in the earnings of the Company. Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net income applicable to common stockholders for the applicable period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock deemed to be outstanding during such period.
In calculating diluted earnings per share, the Company includes only those shares underlying the RSUs that it anticipates

will vest based on management's estimates as of the end of the most recent quarter.

Note 4 - Leases
Lessor Accounting
The Company owns a commercial building in Yonkers, NY leased to two retail tenants under operating leases expiring from 2028 to 2035, with tenant options to extend the leases. Revenues from such leases are reported as rental income, net, and are comprised of (i) lease components, which includes fixed lease payments and (ii) non-lease components, which includes reimbursements of property level operating expenses. The Company does not separate non-lease components from the related lease components, as the timing and pattern of transfer are the same, and accounts for the combined component in accordance with ASC 842.
Rental revenue from multi-family properties is recorded when due from residents and is recognized monthly as it is earned. Rental payments are due in advance. Leases on residential properties are generally for terms that do not exceed one year .

As of September 30, 2024, the Company's Right of Use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities were $ 2,047,000 and $ 2,205,000 , respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the Company's ROU assets and lease liabilities were $ 2,183,000 and $ 2,318,000 , respectively.
The discount rate applied to measure each ROU asset and lease liability is based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”). The Company considers the general economic environment and its historical borrowing rate activity and factors in various financing and asset specific adjustments to ensure the IBR is appropriate to the intended use of the underlying lease.

As the Company did not elect to apply the hindsight practical expedient, lease term assumptions determined under ASC 840 were carried forward and applied in calculating the lease liabilities recorded under ASC 842. The Company’s ground lease offers a renewal option which it assesses against relevant economic factors to determine whether it is reasonably certain of exercising or not exercising the option. Lease payments associated with renewal periods that the Company is reasonably certain will be exercised, if any, are included in the measurement of the corresponding lease liability and ROU asset.

Note 10 – Fair Value Measurements
The Company estimates the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the framework established in fair value accounting guidance. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The hierarchy described below prioritizes inputs to the valuation techniques used in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs to be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
• Level 1— inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets and liabilities in active markets
• Level 2— inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
• Level 3— inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to fair value.
Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets:
16
Table of Contents
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable (included in other assets), accounts payable and accrued liabilities: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for these instruments approximate their fair value due to the short term nature of these accounts.
Junior subordinated notes: At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the notes is lower than their carrying value by approximately $ 3,504,000 and $ 3,613,000 , respectively, based on a market interest rate of 8.56 % and 8.60 %, respectively. The Company values its junior subordinated notes using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each instrument.
Mortgages payable: At September 30, 2024, the estimated fair value of the Company’s mortgages payable is lower than their carrying value by approximately $ 25,498,000 , assuming market interest rates between 4.57 % and 5.94 %. At December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the Company's mortgages payable was lower than their carrying value by approximately $ 34,195,000 , assuming market interest rates between 4.88 % and 6.23 %. Market interest rates were determined using rates which the Company believes reflects institutional lender yield requirements at the balance sheet dates. The Company values its mortgages payable using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each instrument.
Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value. The fair value of debt obligations are considered to be Level 2 valuations within the fair value hierarchy.
Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, the Company and/or its subsidiaries are parties to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, and in particular, personal injury claims involving the operations of the Company's properties. Although management believes that the primary and umbrella insurance coverage maintained with respect to such properties is sufficient to cover claims for compensatory damages, many of these personal injury claims also assert claims for exemplary ( i.e, punitive) damages. Generally, insurance does not cover claims for exemplary damages.
Note 12 – New Accounting Pronouncement
On January 1, 2024, the Company adopted the FASB ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting – Improvements to Reportable Segments Disclosures , as amended, which enhances disclosures of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. This adoption did not have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Substantially all of the Company’s real estate assets, at acquisition, are comprised of real estate owned that is leased to tenants on a long-term basis. Therefore, the Company aggregates real estate assets for reporting purposes and operates in one reportable segment.
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODMs”) are its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer. As the Company operates in one reportable segment, the CODMs are provided financial reports which include (i) a consolidated income statement (detailing total revenues, total operating expenses, operating income and net income) and (ii) Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”). These financial reports assist the CODMs in assessing the Company’s financial performance and in allocating resources appropriately.
Note 13 – Subsequent Events
Subsequent events have been evaluated and any significant events, relative to our consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2024, that warrant additional disclosure, have been included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
